   A fire broke out in a building in the South Ridge Woods apartment complex in Monmouth Junction at 11:20 p.m. Nov. 12.
   No one was injured in the blaze.
   Approximately 50 firefighters from all three of the township’s fire companies arrived at 902 South Ridge Woods Blvd. to extinguish a blaze that started in a utility closet of one of the apartments, fire officials said.
   Deputy Fire Marshal John Funcheon said the fire was caused by residents storing items too close to a furnace and water heater.
   The sprinkler system inside the building brought the blaze under control, and firefighters finished extinguishing it, according to a release.
   Residents of two of the building’s apartments were unable to return to their units after the blaze was extinguished due to water and fire damage. Hotel arrangements were made for them by the Red Cross.
